How to draw Blueprints for Cosplay

[@RobPauza]

Honored that you chose my rifle model. Great tutorial and thanks for the credit. Take care and keep making great videos! 😁👍

[@gosiamalaczek]

We are the Kamui believers and in the name of our Tribe, thank you for your hard work and for making your art available for everyone ^_^

[@KamuiCosplay]

Awesome model, thank you so much!

[@jody024]

@@gosiamalaczek Now,... we do the tribal dance!

[@nella_paulina]

Your 3D model is the one I'll be using for my own cosplay. God bless your heart! Thanks for making it free to use!

[@tiff8683]

Thank you for taking the time and work to make it!!

[@lucassosabelzunce2444]

We need more Benny, allways!

[@matthewservice267]

Corgi's! "Buy my book's" Benni your'e my hero! My old PC crashed, with all of it's Inkscape/Fusion 360 info and tutorials, so this really helped to started again. Real life got in the way so it has been almost 18 months since then. My goal is to use the images and screen shots from Mass Effect to make plans for practical life size furniture "props". So far I've only managed to make prop of the Medi-gel containers from ME1,... to store a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy for Dr. Chakwas and myself of course. Pet the Corgi's for me!

[@Alacritous]

You are both so awesome and enthusiastic about what you do. It makes me happy that you have found each other in this world.

[@MxPotato84]

This man is a gem!! “Are female Mandalorians called mandi?” Ahhhhh!! He’s too good for this world. 💜

[@venomousyt8935]

Lol ^_^

[@tedlasalvia9668]

Great Job Benny!

[@JuliusChannel]

Benni, you and Svetlana are a great team, you are so made for one another! Thanks for your videos and never stop making them too. Regards from Brasil 🇧🇷

[@maskedfoxx7173]

I dunno if I'll ever be the type to use blueprints as my props aren't very detail oriented, but I always enjoy Benni videos, he has a lovely speaking voice.

[@Saunwolfgirl]

I've been lazy and just printed out the tiled screenshots but I didn't realize how straightforward inkscape was. I'm hyped for my next build now

[@ErnestCampos]

Great video, Benni!

[@leonply]

"You know, I'm not getting forced to say that..." (then follows the strained laugh, the furtive left-right looks and then the ducking. I was waiting for a fun fur Corgi dressed as a commando to come flying through the air, aiming for your head! lol) As always, a fun, informative and altogether great video! Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!!!

[@Joseph.A.Creations]

This would have been even more awesome if the camera panned away and Sylvana was standing off to the side pointing a weapon at him like a hostage.

[@RVR121]

But Benny where is your Buy my books dress?!

[@laura6054]

5% watching the actual part of the video 95% watching Beni making weird faces

[@henrietteroggeman1299]

Will I ever draw a blueprint? Probably not. Will I ever skip a video with Beni? Definitely not.

[@tonypower9692]

Wow! Just finished watching blueprint drawing and didn't realise you could print out on adobe multi-pages. That has saved me loads of time great tutorial THANK YOU... Benni and Svetlana

[@topcat1tanks]

Mando’s rifle is a disrupter. It is illegal in the Star Wars universe, out pawed by the Empire and the New Republic. It is his and what you saw was a fight scene from episode 2 of the Mandalorian. They basically set every cell in the target on fire and disintegrate the target. Great video. Mandalorian is a fabulous program.

[@CrankyPantss]

This video was very well done. Your explanation and demonstrations were very clear and helpful. Great job, Benni. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@KamuiCosplay]

You're very welcome!

[@ibidesign]

Fantastic. Best tutorial on AI I've seen so far.

[@cpuuk]

Solid advice, cheers Benni

[@alicesaundra4223]

Benny, I'm crazy impressed by your AI explanation!!! As a Graphic Designer you got it on point!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Hehe, I just name it as I see it. lol -Benni

[@geoffreypreshur3800]

CORGI! Thanks Benni for the video!

[@zamwiesel629]

Not only was this a great and helpful video but just happens to be the exact project I was getting ready to start so perfect timing! Thanks for the blueprint!

[@michaelstuddard4118]

Always enjoy both of your tutorials. They are easy to understand and entertaining.

[@jenniferquezada1437]

You guys are such inspiration to me 💕✨ I hope you guys get to keep making cosplays

[@milquest]

Thank you, Benni! Your tutorials are always so helpful and entertaining :)

[@cindytaylor9025]

Thank you Benni!

[@hudacrafts3306]

thanks so much for this video it's been ages since I used these kinds of software but now with the info you guys are sharing this mama is ready to get back on track!

[@Blackspire_Cosplay]

Benny you went above and beyond with this video thank you so much sir.👊

[@realtracosplay]

Omg thank you for this! I figured out I can do this on Procreate/ a poster created app on my iPad and this is going to help patterning so much.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Probably! You can also use Painter or CoralDraw

[@BadgerwithaMatch]

Nice job Benni! Great content!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks! Appreciate it

[@ohlalalevi2271]

I love how Kamucosplay doesn't shame you for what you can afford. Hey here's a free alternative! This is what the community should always be like when possible

[@dennisaguisag]

thanks for this Benny. and thank you Svetlana for allowing Him. More videos in the future.

[@Justrex01]

Mandy.... hee hee hee...! As always, I learned something and you made me laugh. Thank you so very much, Benny! Love your videos and love your books and you guys are just amazing. Thank you again!

[@bigchickie]

Fantastic vid. Thank you Benni

[@zenku41]

I'm a simple man, I see a Benni video and I click.

[@DaSox1996]

Vielen Dank für das Video! Wirklich super erklärt. Der Prozess ist viel einfacher als man erstmal denkt. Jetzt kann ich es kaum erwarten, meine ersten Props zu bauen.

[@belleyface]

not that i dislike svetlana's videos because i Love love love cosplay building, but often times i am in a place that i can't afford new materials. I really enjoy what you bring to the channel Benni because I also love playing around with illustrator and bender and i have learned so much

[@kshatriya1414]

You just kidnap a person called benny and force him to do it

[@dradex9562]

?????

[@MissRaveShinigami]

You’d have to boss battle Svetlana and Benny first and I’m not betting against them 😂

[@TerritheAncientUnicorn]

Thanks Benni! Hope you are all having a great holiday! Happy New Year... in a few days!

[@kimmyplays]

Benni you are an angel

[@gacktfan11]

I’m glad you made this video. I’ve been wanting help figuring out the best way to go about making the Devil Trigger Dante cosplay from DMC5. His final form is insane and this will help me better make blueprints for his sword.

[@bronwynscott8571]

Corgi! Thanks Benni! Definitely using this in my next project! :D

[@bwielgus]

Really clear instructions. Great job Bandi

[@danielpspersonal]

that is one of the most useful tutorials for cosplay ever. thank you.

[@Satarcon84]

You made it look so easy that i am actually considering doing that

[@gosiamalaczek]

I had a laugh and I took a lesson from Benny! A day well started 😇 Thank you guys for all the knowledge and efforts you share 😏 I really appreciated those funny faces when 20x speed came up. Didn't know where to look🙈. BUY HER BOOKS! 😂I did. No regrets.

[@mihailazar2487]

ULTRA PRO TIP: But Blender can give you the blueprints automatically : just go to render settings, at the bottom ENABLE FREESTYLE, select the camera, in the camera tab on the right set it to "Ortographic", press a button on the XYZ gizmo to set the angle, press Ctrl+Num0 to align camera to view, hit F12, BLUEPRINTS DONE !!! If you don't want the image itself, but rather only the edges, you can export it as an SVG by going to Edit>Prefferences>Addons and enabling the FreestyleSVG then hit F12 again and BOOM, what you just did in Illustrator was just done automatically, with no manual work required, and it's also 100% accurate to the model of course, if you want it to look better you can always change the line style and color and stuff , add a background grid, etc to make them look really pretty if you want

[@valentinpopgeorgiev746]

so how to seperate it to piceces in pdf file as shown in the video?

[@mihailazar2487]

​@@valentinpopgeorgiev746 Just use any 2D vector program capable of editing SVGs to make the layouts. Such as Inkscape. You could even edit the SVGs by hand if you wanted to lol. It's just XML, you can just include an SVG into another SVG (either by pasting inside it or by using the foreignObject tag to link the file directly For example putting the view into another SVG which is your page, and you can edit its viewbox attribute to put it wherever you want and crop and scale to whatever you want within the page.

[@westcd]

Came for Cosplay tips, stayed for Benni!

[@RaySMR]

Benni is amazing!! ♥

[@txavielhumano6541]

Thanks for the Inkscape minitutorial, my Linux loves it!

[@camille_mcy]

Yesssss finally a new video! Thank you so much for all your advice✨

[@playmotto1279]

Your blueprints look great as framed artworks to hang in a makerspace- aka my office. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@trauts2003]

Thank you soooo much for this. i love benny videos.

[@S_Hofmann]

Best Tutorial on this topic yet!

[@brassmonkeyfins]

Thank you so much Benni You have explained and shown the program clearly and simply Love you guys

[@TheGeekySaiyanCouple]

I can tell you enough how much this video helped me! I have been struggling to make huge patterns by hand for years because I couldn't figure out how to make them digitally. this has saved me so much time! you broke this down to be so easy making my final fantasy project I have been avoiding sketching by hand for a...long time now....so thank you for the confidence push in making it finally. I have a video I just uploaded of my speed build of a very large pattern (use I have the same issue with picking very large complicated things lol ) as a thank you I added the link to this in the description if you would like to see :) Its my Odin blades from final fantasy xiii.

[@TheGeekySaiyanCouple]

usually im on my other youtube channel name ( jessie phillips the ones shown as lightning lol ) when I comment on stuff but our couple cosplay channel is what we use to post on :)

[@MonsteroidGaming]

This is one of the most informative and helpful videos I've watched in a long time. Thank you so much for this

[@cellano5223]

Thank you for this. I have illustrator, but sometimes I just print out the prop rather than tracing it and making a blueprint. Also it was interesting to see how you broke it into sections. I would have just outlined the whole thing first, but Benni's way is just better. :)

[@olgakusanagi5582]

Thank you for this tutorial!! Going to use these tips and this video to help me make my next blueprint! :) your guys' videos have helped me so much. thank you.

[@isabelleboutin7]

Thanks a lot! I consider myself quite good with Illustrator and you made me think of ways to do it which I haven't thought of! Cool!

[@callumg6181]

WE NEED MORE BENNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@myaschuwerk1693]

Benni you are the man. Thanks for saving my life lol

[@ralphedenbag4552]

Nice tutorial ! I personnaly use blender to draw blueprint, using the Freestyle feature but your workshop on illustrator is really instructive.

[@Galaxara]

Heyo

[@amberlacyjohnson]

Love your tutorial! This is exactly the instruction I needed for Illustrator. Thanks for doing it.

[@mrbruce307]

all right I will try this, thanks Benni

[@mathaeis]

Benni, you are so delightful.

[@ClefairyFairySnowflake]

This video was very helpful! Thanks for making it! Have a great day!

[@gerardosarmiento5504]

Hi Benny, Just tu clarify, inkscape does have guides, also if you have a 3D model you should take a look to freecad, there is a workbench for blue prints. To enable rules, go to document settings and then the last tab, if i remember well. inkscape.org/forums/questions/two-crossing-grid-lines-intersection-set-to-zero/

[@KamuiCosplay]

Yo that’s good to know!

[@fabulous_cosplayer6928]

i love these videos so much and I am actually new to using foam and cosplay making so this helped a lot! thank you so much and I can't wait to see more in the future!

[@michaelkoukaras7515]

Mando is his nickname. Amazing tutorial video, thanks!!

[@hc2910]

You two are the best 🤩

[@maleahlock]

I just use pens/pencils and paper. I feel so old and poor now. 😧

[@KamuiCosplay]

Nah dude it’s totally fine! Whatever works :)

[@FlutterSwag]

People made armor hundreds of years ago without illustrator your doing great!

[@candytree]

Me too! Pens, pencils, paper and scotch tape, plus a cheeky bit of photocopying. Works a treat! :-)

[@issa.israel]

Thats beautiful. Can you please teach me how to do blueprints by paper?

[@criticalchimken279]

Same I love drawing

[@wwg5079]

Well presented information, applicable to a wide range of projects. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Necaria]

Super Video, kanns kaum erwarten Ana's Waffe nach deinen Tipps zu machen! Und natürlich: CORGI!

[@Dacklanis36]

Thank you for the amazing masterclass in blueprints, definitely very helpful. Makes me want to buy the books is now a must. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👨‍🎨

[@natsumicosplay5684]

Thank you so much for Adobe Acrobat reader tip! I was using inkscape for my blueprints , but printing them was a pain for me . Thanks again for good tutorial)))

[@Shiftarrr]

[@taleef1760]

Y’all are always so nice and helpful thank you so much for sharing another great video. Buy her books Corgi ❤️

[@poke-talia268]

Hopefully, I can get my dad's computer to run faster and put blender on it while I'm home over winter break. I'd love to use the UV maps as a helpful tool when making props. Especially since I don't have any thick EVA foam to work with, just the colourful tiny sheets

[@FirstKeeper]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@rodrigorubberduck]

5:55 also you can click that burger icon in top-right corner of Layers window and select "Template" to make all previous actions automatically. You are welcome 😉

[@KamuiCosplay]

Oh cool!

[@ClaireDuhLune]

Thanks Benny! I literally just assembled my Mando helmet. Also you can of course channel your inner outlaw and pirate the show... which I would never do /s

[@vigg0420]

thx so much it took a white to get how inkscape works but i get it now

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

Very very cool. Thank you for sharing this process with us. It was very helpful.

[@zkargottvanhazent]

This was fantastic. We don't deserve you.

[@pengus3998]

[@dannyjonker1712]

Benni, just cross the border. We have Disney+ in the Netherlands. Thanks for the great video!

[@CringeDetectorBot]

BUY THEIR BOOKS, CORGI, I LOVE U GUYS

[@clintverville784]

Thanks guys. Gonna try this out.

[@savannahmeier582]

That's really amazing! 😀😮

[@Fludded]

I appreciate the consideration put into this video... just enough detail to get people started on Illustrator. Could make a similar video using InDesign? Show off how you make your books. I'm into epublishing and photoshop isnt enough.

[@skidz8426]

Hi just a little tip to help find images put "reference image" with what you're looking for in your case side reference image I know it sounds dumb but search engines search for all the words first. like this 1) all the words in the order 2) all the words any order 3) some of the words any order 4) any unique words so if you say mandalorian rifle side reference image you're going to get the best results also if you mix up the words like mandalorian side rifle reference image you probably will get a much different que of pictures like a sidearm. not what youre looking for. so just a tip

[@studiojamescao]

This was very informative. Thanks !
